　　On the viewing platform of Yunlou.
　　“Senior Brother, this Ji Wuyou was also once a disciple on the mountain, right？”
　　Zhao Linglong looked at Qingxiao beside her with a worried expression.
“Hmm, this Ji Wuyou was once a disciple of the Fourth Peak. He killed his fellow disciples in order to contend for a spiritual herb and was finally deprived of most of his cultivation and expelled from the Fourth Peak.”
　　Qingxiao nodded with a solemn expression.
　　Actually, there was one thing he didn’t say, that is, this Ji Wuyou was actually one of the most concerned disciples among the various peaks in this Seven Peaks Selection.
　　However, in order to avoid making Zhao Linglong too worried, he still didn’t say it out loud.
　　“Didn’t it say that in the Seven Peaks Selection, magic above the Xuan rank is not allowed？ Why is no one stopping Ji Wuyou from exercise the sword control technique？”
　　Zhao Linglong then asked again.
　　“That’s not the Sword Control Technique. The technique of controlling the sword with qi in martial skills is vastly different from controlling the sword with the divine soul. It’s just that this Ji Wuyou has outstanding natural talent, making it look like he is controlling the sword.”
　　It was Zi Yan sitting next to her who answered Zhao Linglong.
　　“Senior brother, isn’t this Ji Wuyou the disciple that our First Peak wants to recruit this time？”
　　At this time, Ye Xuan sitting in front suddenly spoke up.
　　Upon hearing this, Jin Hezhi also smiled and nodded, and then turned around and looked at Zhao Linglong with a smile and said：
　　“Little sister Linglong, this little guy you know doesn’t have very good luck.”
　　“You said the same thing in the last match.”
　　Zhao Linglong gave Jin Hezhi a white look.
　　Upon hearing this, Jin Hezhi’s mouth twitched a few times, and then he snorted coldly and said： “If you don’t believe it, then just watch carefully. In the next match, that Xu Taiping is going to suffer a great loss.”
　　“The　match　begins！”
　　Just at this time, the voice of the examiner on the arena boomed over Zhenjianping through the Sound Transmission Talisman, and the fluctuations of the auras around Ji Wuyou and Qi Baili suddenly exploded and dissipated.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Immediately following, a sword chirp suddenly rang out, and a flying sword swirling beside Ji Wuyou suddenly broke through the air and flew out, stabbing straight at Qi Baili.
　　The weapon of this Qi Baili was two huge bronze hammers. Seeing the flying sword breaking through the air and coming, he immediately swung one of the huge bronze hammers in his hand and smashed it heavily towards it.
　　Perhaps due to controlling the sword with qi, the flying speed of this flying sword was not particularly fast, so there was a high probability that Qi Baili’s hammer would be able to hit it.
　　“Zheng！”
　　But just as the bronze hammer was about to hit the flying sword, the other hand of Ji Wuyou on the opposite side suddenly and quickly pinched a magic seal, and then shouted loudly：
　　“Wind comes！”
　　As soon as the voice fell, a gust of strong wind suddenly blew past the side of Qi Baili, causing his figure to sway violently, and the bronze hammer in his hand suddenly lost its aim and missed.
　　“Shua！”
　　Just at the moment when Qi Baili’s body swayed.
　　The flying sword controlled by Ji Wuyou, with a sound of breaking through the air, cut off the arm of Qi Baili holding the hammer with one sword.
　　“Ah！”
　　Qi Baili let out a shrill scream of pain.
　　And Ji Wuyou hooked the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of excitement as he said：
　　“I have already reminded you to admit defeat. Since you are so uninteresting, then I will take another arm of yours！”
While the voice was sounding, the hand he used to control the flying sword with the index finger and middle finger together, suddenly pressed down.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Another sword cry rang out through the air.
　　The flying sword hovering above Qi Baili’s head once again flew down like a stream of light, and with a “swish”, it chopped off Qi Baili’s other arm.
　　”Ah！…”
　　Qi Baili let out another shrill cry, and then knelt down on the ground in horror and begged for mercy, saying：
　　”I admit defeat, I admit…”
　　”Swish！”
　　The plea for mercy stopped abruptly in a sound of breaking through the air.
　　The flying sword controlled by Ji Wuyou pierced through Qi Baili’s throat with one strike.
　　”Bang！”
　　Qi Baili’s body fell headlong onto the arena.
　　In an instant, the whole arena was in an uproar.
　　Some were discussing Ji Wuyou’s swordsmanship and spellcasting, while others were evaluating Ji Wuyou’s cruel methods.
　　After all, when the opponent’s two hands were both crippled and the victory was already decided, there was no need to kill.
　　Regarding all these criticisms, Ji Wuyou didn’t care at all. He just walked step by step to the edge of the arena, and then looked down at Xu Taiping from a height and said：
　　”It’s　your　turn.”
　　……
　　”Not only proficient in controlling the sword with qi, but also has extremely strong talent in the way of spells, and is ruthless in his actions. Such a person is born for cultivation.”
　　In the cloud building, Jin Hezhi said slowly while shaking the folding fan in his hand.
　　Zhao Linglong bit her lip and didn’t speak.
　　Qing Xiao and Zi Yan fell into thought.
　　“You’d better go and persuade that kid to call it a day. As long as the green mountains remain, there’s no need to worry about firewood. Come back after cultivating for another three years outside.”
　　At this time, Jin Hezhi turned his head and looked at the three of Zhao Linglong and said.
　　To be honest, Zhao Linglong and Qing Xiao indeed had this thought.
　　Especially Qing Xiao, he knew more about Ji Wuyou’s past cultivation and strength than Zhao Linglong. Even if his cultivation was abolished and he had to start over, his methods couldn’t be dealt with by ordinary outer sect disciples.
　　“Junior Sister.”
　　Qing Xiao looked at Zhao Linglong, as if seeking her opinion.
　　“Senior Brother, there’s only one more match. One more match and Xiao Taiping can get the quota to become a formal disciple.”
　　Zhao Linglong was very reluctant for Xu Taiping.
　　“Xu Taiping won’t agree.”
　　Lin Buyu, who hadn’t said a word from the beginning to the end, suddenly spoke.
　　As soon as these words came out, several people’s eyes looked towards him.
　　Even Ye Xuan, who had a proud face, turned his head.
As if not seeing the gazes of the crowd, Lin Buyu closed the book in his hand, raised his head and looked towards the position of the ring below, and then said to himself:
　　“If he was really that afraid of death, he wouldn’t have been able to stand here at all.”
　　Upon hearing this, Qing Xiao was first stunned, and then nodded and said：
　　“That’s right.”
　　As the saying goes, being overly concerned leads to confusion.
　　If it weren’t for Lin Buyu’s reminder, he would have almost forgotten that Xu Taiping was already a cultivator, and facing life and death for the first time was the first step for a cultivator to embark on the path of cultivation.
　　“Yes, what Buyu said is right. Since Taiping has already embarked on the path of cultivation, every step in the future should be chosen by himself.”
　　Suddenly, Zhao Linglong slapped her two palms hard on her cheeks with a “pop”, and then forcibly suppressed the worry in her heart and once again cast her gaze towards the ring below.
“All the words sound good, but a person only has one life. Once the life is gone, then there is nothing left.”
　　Jin Hezhi sneered, and then turned his head away, leisurely shaking the folding fan in his hand.
And Ye Xuan took a deep look at Lin Buyu, and then turned his head away, locking his gaze on Xu Taiping in the stands, and then whispered murmured: “Xu Taiping, this name is really unpleasant.”
　　……
　　After one stick of incense.
　　Zhenjianping.
　　“In this match, Xu Taiping will face Ji Wuyou. The winner will obtain the first quota of this Seven Peaks Selection, gain the qualification to ask the sword of the Seven Peaks, and will be selected as an official disciple by the Seven Peaks.”
　　Amid the proclamation of the supervising examiner, Xu Taiping and Ji Wuyou respectively walked onto the ring from both sides.
　　Because this match will determine the first quota, the disciples of the seven peaks in the Cloud Tower also stopped laughing and all seriously looked at the stands.
　　And on the south side of the Town Sword Tower, on the largest nine-story Cloud Tower, at this time, there were One by one extremely powerful auras spreading out.
　　Obviously, the masters of the seven peaks, as well as the head of the Qingxuan Sect, and several elders had all taken their seats.
　　”Bringing so many knives, are you planning to cook on the stage？”
　　Ji Wuyou looked at Xu Taiping, who had three long knives inserted on each side of his waist, and asked with a squint and a smile.
　　”You’ll find out later.”
　　Xu Taiping tightened the rope around his waist used to tie the knives.
